According to an article at Heatstreet.com, MSNBC’s hosts have a tax problem of their own.Writer Jillian Kay Melchior tells us, "A Heat Street review of public records show that a total of six current, prominent MSNBC pundits have recently settled federal or state tax liens, while one still has tax problems. Moreover, at least two other hosts who recently left the network have also had massive tax liens filed against them. MSNBC declined to comment, and none of the current or former tax debtors responded to requests for interviews sent through an MSNBC spokesperson.

MSNBC 'fake news readers' can best be compared to their environmental hypocrite cousins. They will cut down a majestic redwood tree, then climb atop the newly severed stump, for the sole purpose of making a speech for conservation.

"Wondering how illegal immigration is affecting your pocket book? In 2013, taxpayers shouldered $100 billion in state spending on illegal aliens!" As an example; California's bleeding heart Liberal ILLEGAL ALIEN lovers are burdening that State's hard working taxpayers with a 25.3 Billion dollar annual tab. The figure reflects a "$2,370 cost per household headed by a U.S. Citizen." (Based on 2013 figures)

This information is not designed to denigrate women, and their vital role during the Normandy D-Day invasion during World War II. Women (Nurses) arrived four days after the initial invasion as members of field and evacuation hospitals.

Without women participation, who can say how many more brave men taking part in the Normandy Beaches invasion would have died as a result of wounds as they rushed the shores.

But, Liberal Women Militants, identical twins of Liberal 'Men' Militants (see LGBTXYZMTV), hardly ever seem satisfied with accepting the importance of their shared responsibilities in a 21st Century world. A perfect example can best be illustrated using the Normandy Beaches Invasion as outlined above.

Just a few years ago, a photo depicted Women Invaders, landing side-by-side to their male counterparts.

This photograph was snapped on January 15, 1945 (Seven months after D-Day) and was taken in the French Riviera area of Southern France, not the Normandy region of Northern France. *

Want to drain the swamp? Expose Barack Obama, who he really is and the damage he has done.Let's start with President Trump's allegation that the Obama Administration wiretapped the Trump Tower in October of 2016.In summary, here is what we know.In June 2016, the Obama Administration, using flimsy evidence of Russian connections to the Trump campaign, made an initial request for electronic surveillance of Trump and his associates under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and its approval body the FISA court.It should be noted that approval requires a very low standard of evidence. Since its inception, the FISA court has permitted 99.7% of requests. The fact that the initial request was denied, means that the basis upon which the request was made must have been extraordinarily weak or excessively broad or both.According to a Heat Street article, the "FBI sought, and was granted, a FISA court warrant in October [2016], giving counter-intelligence permission to examine the activities of ‘U.S. persons' in Donald Trump's campaign with ties to Russia."In that regard, Breitbart stated: "No evidence is found - but the wiretaps continue, ostensibly for national security reasons, Andrew McCarthy at National Review later notes. The Obama administration is now monitoring an opposing presidential campaign using the high-tech surveillance powers of the federal intelligence services."On January 12, 2017, the New York Times reported:"In its final days, the Obama administration has expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government's 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.""The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws.""The change means that far more officials will be searching through raw data."In other words, the Obama Administration intentionally increased, by orders of magnitude, the possibility of leaks of classified information about private U.S. citizens gathered under a FISA warrant.The Obama Administration has an extensive history of using federal agencies to attack political opponents; the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups (why is John Koskinen still IRS Commissioner?) and the Department of Justice spying on Fox News reporter James Rosen, to name only two instances.For Obama, the FISA warrant and the leaks it produced has been a gift that keeps on giving. It perpetuates the false narrative of a substantive Trump-Russian connection. It led to the resignation of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. It forced Attorney General Jeff Session to recuse himself from the Trump-Russian investigation opening the way for a Special Prosecutor.

by Lloyd Marcus • March 2, 2017 (Reprinted at Obiter Dictum, with approval from Mr. Marcus). "While piddling around in my workshop, I heard this sound bite on the radio of Trump talking about his upcoming speech to Congress that evening. President Trump said, “All I can do is speak from the heart and say what I want to do.” I thought, “Wow, what a concept.” Involved as an activist in the business of politics since 2008, I can tell you that Trump has been a laughingstock in the political arena ever since he announced he was running for the presidency. Look at this clown. He doesn’t behave like a politician. He doesn’t even know how to speak like a professional politician. No, Trump is just a guy who does not talk down to us and does not ramble on and on with a bunch of intellectual sounding crap. In the black hood where I come from, we called it jive. Obama was a masterful jive talker. Folks, I relate to Trump because I do not know how to sound smart the way liberals do while advocating insane, evil, and ungodly nonsense. My dad is a preacher. My late mom was a domestic worker. They taught all five of their kids to trust God, be responsible, work hard, and always try to do the right thing. Thus, I do not know how to sound like a politician. My instincts are to look people in the eye, speak from the heart, and tell the truth.Trump’s down-to-earth, straight-talk nature is exactly why 60-something million Americans have bonded with him. Meanwhile, political snobs and fake news media still do not get it. The political establishment, Obama’s army of domestic terrorists, and fake news media will continue using their standard tried and true tactics to destroy Trump. They will fail. Watching Trump address Congress, it struck me: “Oh my gosh – every common sense thing Trump says he intends to do beneficial to America is vehemently opposed by the Democrats.” What on Earth has happened to my dad’s Democratic Party? My fellow Americans, our greatest threat is not ISIS. It is the Democratic Party. Here are just a few Trump putting America first promises that have enraged Democrats launching a scorched earth policy to stop him. “A new national pride is sweeping across our nation.” Democrat-controlled public schools have been teaching our kids that patriotism is racist. “All the nations of the world – friend or foe – will find that America is strong, America is proud, and America is free.” Remember Obama touring the world, apologizing for our greatness? “We’ve financed and built one global project after another, but ignored the fates of our children in the inner cities of Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit – and so many other places throughout our land.” As an American who happens to be black, it baffled me for years why black Democrats seemed content with cities they control like Chicago, Baltimore, and Detroit becoming hellholes of black poverty and black-on-black crime. Then it dawned on me. Democrat blacks are not black. They are first and foremost liberals who seek power via government control and dependency. “We’ve defended the borders of other nations, while leaving our own borders wide open, for anyone to cross – and for drugs to pour in at a now unprecedented rate.” Democrats believe that America is too white. They want open borders to attract future Democratic voters of color.

“Our military will be given the resources its brave warriors so richly deserve.” The Democratic Party leadership are old hippies, flower children who hate our military and guns. “We have begun to drain the swamp of government corruption by imposing a five-year ban on lobbying by executive branch officials – and a lifetime ban on becoming lobbyists for a foreign government.” Folks, taking the power away from the D.C. cartel and giving it back to We the People, as our Founders intended, has Trump atop the excrement list of both political parties. “We have withdrawn the United States from the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership.” Democrats hate this. Who do we think we are? “[M]y administration has answered the pleas of the American people for immigration enforcement and border security. By finally enforcing our immigration laws, we will raise wages, help the unemployed, save billions of dollars, and make our communities safer for everyone. We want all Americans to succeed – but that can’t happen in an environment of lawless chaos. We must restore integrity and the rule of law to our borders.” Folks, Democrats say screw the law, screw jobs, and screw national security. They want as many unskilled government-dependent illegals flooding across our borders as possible. Obama spent a whopping $113 billion, $1,117 each, settling illegals into our country, priming them to become Democrat voters.

We’ve heard much about Trump’s narcissism. Call me crazy, because I don’t see that when I watch and hear him speak. I see a man aware and humbled by the job placed upon his shoulders, committed to getting it done – committed to keeping his campaign promises," committed to making America great again.Note: Graphics added by this websitePlease visit 'The Unhyphenated American' website for additional comments by Lloyd Marcus.Lloyd Marcus, The Unhyphenated AmericanAuthor: Confessions of a Black Conservative: How the Left has shattered the dreams of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Black America.Singer/Songwriter and Conservative Activistmr_lloydmarcus@hotmail.comhttp://www.lloydmarcus.com

Fading Democrats, Liberal media outlets (but, now I'm repeating myself), pony-tailed Ivy League University professors and unbalanced Hollywood freaks simply do not 'get it.' The reason Donald Trump won the hearts and minds of Americans, is because he championed all topics, sullied and diseased by these challenged groups of misfits, and assured them he would turn the country around, and begin rebuilding a future for their children, and beyond. If someone such as billionaire Oprah Winfrey actually believes her self-serving presence before a TV audience for the past few decades will catapult her into the White House. All we can say at this point is....You go Girl.

Those who maintain the idea of media saturation by a television 'celebrity' having a direct (or any) influence on those who will ultimately vote for a political candidate to represent their nation, have it all wrong.

Donald Trump did not win the Presidency of the United States because he hosted a (I'm told) popular TV show, The Apprentice. Truth be told, "Self-reported viewership of The Apprentice shows very little relationship to Trump's job rating in business. The difference between people who have never seen the show (this writer included), regularly watch it, occasionally watch it, are modest." **

Sorry 'Libs.' Oprah is NO Donald Trump. And if Conservatives have an opportunity to employ your dirty election tactics....The Queen (title to be defined in so many different ways) of daytime TV has more skeletons in her closet than Donald Trump could ever own. Who knows, 'Stedman' might finally grow a pair, and write a tell-all book about his 30 year friendship with media partner Oprah. That should be a book, like no other, maybe even huckstered as book club best, by the world's greatest snake oil saleswoman of our time.

Sister Maxine should know a thing or two about "Scumbags." She has been somewhat of a regular on at least one Progressive watchdog's ethics and accountability list. CREW has recognized this California shuck-and-jive pillar of the community in 2005, 2006 and yet again in 2009 as "one of the most corrupt members of Congress."

That old saying, A picture is worth a thousand words, seems appropriate when quoting these puffed-up ragamuffins, but hearing is believing, when illiterate words flow so lucidly from this horse's ass mouth.

"Comment of the day from blogger and Conservative pundit, Burt Prelutsky"

"Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office.

I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other State, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're number one.

There is no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, MAXINE WATERS, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on Macbeth.

The four of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words."-- Burt Prelutsky

According to website Townhall.com, Waters is quoted as saying, "I just think the American people had better understand what's going on. "This is a bunch of scumbags. That's what they are. Who are all organized around making money."

Specifically, she said, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is guilty of wanting to get Russian sanctions lifted because the former Exxon Mobil CEO is part of a "Kremlin klan" obsessed with bribes, oil and gas." **

Based on previous comments regarding World views expressed by Waters, it is doubtful that this imbecile could actually point out the location of The Kremlin even if the word RUSSIAwas emblazoned and embellished in candy apple red crayon.
